The Basic Income Canada Network (BICN) in partnership with the Basic Income Earth Network
(BIEN) has issued a Call for Session Proposals for the 25th BIEN Congress, taking place
August 20–22, 2026 in Toronto, Canada. All presentations will be in person.
The Congress theme — Basic Income in a Time of Polycrisis — invites bold, rigorous, and
creative contributions exploring the role of basic income and income guarantees as overlapping
global crises reshape social, economic, political, and environmental systems.
Proposals are welcome in three framing areas:
- Knowledge — research, evidence, learning, and lived experience
- Action — advocacy, practice, organizing, and movement building
- Connection — cross-sector collaboration and bridging divides
Format options include: individual presentations, full sessions (panels, workshops, roundtables),
posters, and creative/artistic formats (film, poetry, music, etc.).
Submission deadline: April 15, 2026 | Decisions notified: May 19, 2026
